The commercial street was still bustling with crowds.
However, Luo Wei's thoughts were far from the lively streets, as his mind wandered to a cold, distant girl with silver-white hair.
Ophelia was from the first timeline.
Back then, they were both caught up in a moderate case involving mass livestock deaths. After dealing with the evil creature together, they became acquainted.
Later, she became the second "contained entity" after Helena. However, there wasn't any fighting between them - she was invited in. Rather than being "contained," she was more like his second tenant.
But Helena hated her.
Perhaps it was because of her identity, or maybe because of her appearance and personality.
And that girl... how should I put it... in some ways, she might be even more troublesome than Helena...
Luo Wei's head was aching, aching terribly...
In any case...
Her sudden return wasn't good news for the current Luo Wei.
The grilled chicken wing vendor looked puzzled at the young man standing before him.
"Are you buying or not? If not, don't block others!"
Luo Wei responded with an "oh" and absent-mindedly bought two chicken wings.
One for himself, and the other he handed to Helena, who was intently watching a circus performance.
Helena turned around, and being as sensitive as she was, immediately noticed something was off about her brother, who seemed deeply troubled.
"What's wrong... brother?"
Luo Wei snapped back to reality, concealing all his emotions with a gentle smile.
"Nothing, just thinking these chicken wings might be overpriced."
"Is that so..." Helena blinked.
Though she knew her brother definitely wasn't thinking about that, she didn't press further.
Luo Wei pointed to a direction where the crowd was even more lively, "Let's go check that out!"
"Mm!"
Helena's smile returned to her face as she happily pulled her brother's hand toward that direction.
Luo Wei watched her back, lost in thought.
She absolutely cannot know about this, at least... not the current her...
[Helena]
[Affection: 100]
[Contamination: 20]
Her body had finally returned to normal, and her emotions were becoming more stable.
If she found out that one of the former tenants, Ophelia, whom she despised the most, had returned... she would likely have an immediate adverse reaction...
All their previous efforts would be wasted.
...
Holding Helena's hand, Luo Wei strolled leisurely with her past various food stalls.
Helena was almost dazzled by all the options, wanting to try everything she saw.
Seeing her rare happiness, Luo Wei made a grand gesture.
At every stall they passed, regardless of what was being sold, they bought one of everything.
This shocked the vendors who, while happy about the sales, had doubtful expressions that seemed to ask: can you two kids really eat all this?
Luo Wei thought to himself, they really underestimate her.
From one end of the street to the other, Helena ate continuously. The pile of various dishes that Luo Wei could barely hold quickly disappeared, leaving onlookers amazed and muttering in wonder.
How could such a delicate-looking girl eat like a bottomless pit? Probably the whole street combined couldn't eat as much as her...
"Brother... am I being too excessive... everyone is staring at us..."
Helena tugged gently at Luo Wei's sleeve, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"What do they know!" Luo Wei completely ignored others' stares.
"Boss, I'll take one of each of these desserts."
"Yes, you heard right, pack all thirty of them... no, we don't need a box, we'll eat as we walk."
"Brother..." Helena became even more embarrassed, "We don't need so many..."
Luo Wei ignored her protests.
Glancing at a nearby girl who stood staring with her mouth slightly open, Luo Wei rolled his eyes, "What are you looking at? Never seen a beautiful girl eat before?"
Beautiful girls can eat too!
After eating, they went to a clothing store.
The weather was still a bit cold, and Helena's wardrobe consisted of nothing but little dresses. Luo Wei wanted to buy her a coat.
After helping her try on several options, Luo Wei, taking inspiration from Teacher Evelyn's usual outerwear style, chose a plain white women's coat for Helena.
Evelyn was quite the fashion expert, and her style choices were quite valuable reference points for someone as fashion-blind as Luo Wei.
"It's so warm~" Helena happily twirled in front of the mirror in her new clothes.
"Brother! Does it suit me? Is it too mature?" She looked questioningly at Luo Wei's reflection in the mirror.
Luo Wei nodded insincerely, "Mm, it fits..."
But in his mind, he thought that this style really needed the right figure to pull it off... and Helena's chest...
Well, let's just say.
There was still quite a gap to fill before reaching Teacher Evelyn's cup size.
Helena had no idea what Luo Wei was thinking. Seeing him staring intently at her chest, she shyly lowered her head.
Her cheeks turned red.
So brother likes girls with bigger chests...
Then I'll have to try extra hard!
...
After enjoying the food and shopping, evening had arrived without them noticing.
Holding Helena's hand, Luo Wei came to the most expensive district in the east side. The earlier bustle of the marketplace gradually faded away, replaced by the faint sound of elegant piano music.
The restaurants here were luxuriously decorated, offering the finest dining experience in the city. The patrons were all nobles, wealthy individuals, or the elite of Saint Callen.
In short: a place for respectable people.
Upon entering the restaurant, they were enveloped by the melodious sound of solo piano. A waiter politely took Luo Wei's coat.
"Brother..." Helena couldn't help but squeeze Luo Wei's fingers.
She had never been to such a formal place before, feeling even more nervous than when she used to kill people.
"Don't be afraid." Luo Wei helplessly ruffled her hair, "It's just an ordinary restaurant, not much fancier than the snack shop at the school gate, and the food might not even be as good."
"Oh..." Helena nodded quietly at his words.
But she still timidly stayed close behind Luo Wei.
"Sir, Miss, please follow me."
The waiter displayed a proper smile, leading them to a window seat.
After being seated, Helena curiously observed the other patrons.
The men and women were all so gentlemanly and ladylike... their movements so graceful, as if they belonged to a completely different world from her...
Just then, the piano music ended, replaced by a beautiful violin solo that was lovely in an indescribable way. The crystal chandelier cast an intimate glow as young men and women embraced and moved toward the dance floor.
Everyone here must be married couples or lovers...
"Brother..."
Helena raised her head shyly, her eyes slightly sparkling.
"Are we on a date?"
"Hmm?" Luo Wei was stunned for a moment, but quickly smiled and said:
"Whatever Helena thinks it is, that's what it is. Brother just wanted to take you somewhere you've never been, to experience things you've never experienced."
"Oh..." Helena quietly lowered her head again.
So it's not a date then...
But she was still very happy.
Watching her brother confidently ordering their meal, Helena smiled and rested her chin on her hand, looking out through the floor-to-ceiling window at the night scene.
A massive airship slowly moved through the high sky, its tail flickering with gorgeous blue light - the energy of magic crystals, which looked beautiful at night.
Closer to earth were the twinkling lights of Saint Callen, dotted like stars in a countryside sky.
This day had been truly wonderful.
She unconsciously lifted the corners of her mouth, as if in a beautiful dream she didn't want to wake from.
She wished it could stay like this forever.
...
The tranquility was broken by a call.
"Luo Wei! Luo Wei Edlin!"
"Finally found you! I'm exhausted..."
Luo Wei and Helena both looked over as Police Chief Raymond pushed past the waiter at the door and hurriedly walked toward them.
His voice was very loud, drawing curious glances from other diners in the restaurant.
Luo Wei merely glanced at him before turning back to Helena, asking gently: "Would you like anything else?"
"No, brother... I've had enough..." Helena quietly pointed at Raymond.
"Isn't that the police chief? Brother, aren't you going to acknowledge him?"
Luo Wei let out a helpless sigh.
"Whenever I see him, I know nothing good is coming..."
The previously warm and cozy atmosphere came to an abrupt halt when Police Chief Raymond arrived.
Because, the system prompt suddenly popped up.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
